arrested development sucked/sucks shit too, but i dont need to make longwinded hipster refs to express that.
― dr. strongo, Saturday, 3 December 2011 06:01 (twelve years ago) link
i have to say the buñuel reference convinced me its not whiney
― є(٥_ ٥)э, Saturday, 3 December 2011 06:02 (twelve years ago) link
rereading this p4k article & wondering if maybe childish gambino doesn't lack self awareness per se but just isn't up to the minute on rap trends? i get the feeling that we're in a whineyesque bubble here, what was for the past two years a trickle of stereogum updates (Beyonce Ass Moved by Grizzly Bear Concert) has only really become a tide circa somewhere between mbdtf & take care. not sure how perceptible the trends ian cohen &c (myself incl) are distinctly aware of are on a macro/college campus level

well part of the problem is that he seems to have not been keeping up with rap trends for the past decade, or that because he is sooooo indie, he only has a handful of rap records and doesn't know what the shit his record should sound like in 2011.

nah come on the buñuel ref is classic whiney
― dr. strongo, Saturday, 3 December 2011 06:04 (twelve years ago) link
"this seems highbrow enough to make my point, just hope no one actually calls me out on the specifics"
yeah theres fact that it doesnt make a tonne of sense in context but it seemed a v unwhiney ref idk

mostly i'm just lol'ing at the thou protestest too muchest from one of the four or five ilx posters with one of the most recognizable sentence-making styles of all-time.
― dr. strongo, Saturday, 3 December 2011 06:11 (twelve years ago) link
buñuel more like poo-nuel

just occurred to me that a crispin glover would likely be as good a rapper as childish gambino, but danny glover would likely be better

i don't understand why this artist is apparently the only one people want to discuss in the sandbox?
― lex pretend, Saturday, 3 December 2011 14:15 (twelve years ago) link
258 new answers and every other thread is tumbleweed
because the only other ilx baiting record is by a dude already discussed to the point of having nothing interesting to say, whose record was made dull by eminem

because he is a relevant comedian/entertainer/rapper/writer who is easy to lol at and is also on a tv show many of us like?
of course we know you hate comedy, so maybe you don't understand.
― big popppa hoy, Saturday, 3 December 2011 14:27 (twelve years ago) link
oh i didn't know he was on a tv show, i don't watch tv. not sure how to turn it on tbh. why do you want to lol at bad music instead of talking about good music?
kmt @ comedy obv. no one should try to be funny, ever

yeah a few months ago there was a whole revelation on some thread about lex being against the entire human pursuit of comedy

comedy is conceptually abhorrent to me

lex is right. why are we spending all this time talking about childish gambino when we could clearly talk about how insane lex is

i once dreamed of a career in comedy but i gave it up once i realized i could never create a character as funny as the lex

if you think you get to decide that then that probably explains the root of your problem
